Instead of getting a pat on the shoulder or a raise, this guy was fired for doing a really, really good job. Basically, he had planned a vacation, so he prepared his team for the week he wasn’t going to be around. And he did it so well, as those seven days were going by, the company thought they don’t need him anymore. Big mistake.
“It’s actually an old company, so their success is mostly behind them,” the guy wrote. “Titles and structures were created back in their big days.” All the hard work and overtime he put into optimizing various processes there, everything was simply disregarded. The stress of losing a job with a special needs child, however, forced the man to create his own business. And just when things were getting steady, he received a call from his ex-employer. Scroll down to check out the incredible rollercoaster ride of a life this dude was leading for the past couple of months and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

I got laid off from my previous employer after 8 years, after they closed the office and moved out of state. We all new it was coming, even though for months they denied it. Even after the mailman gave one of the reps a change of address for the company and supplies stopped being restocked they still denied it. After about 2 months into my new job I received a text from my old boss. Asking me if I would comeback to the company and work remotely. After laughing my a*s off I responded with NOT TODAY SATAN...NOT TODAY.

Great article. Terrible use of memes. The blue penguin is "Socially Awkward Penguin," while the red one is "Socially Awesome Penguin." When you put the blue on top of the red, it denotes that a SOCIAL situation started out badly but ended up well. For example: Hot girl/guy trips over my leg (blue); I catch them (red). In the context of this article, I would suggest using Bad Luck Brian and Success Kid.
